Quotes by Cindy L. Otis (?)

“If you distrust everything, you'll believe anything.”

“Jefferson, too, though a firm believer in the free press, did not always care for the consequences when they affected him personally. In 1807, he said, “Nothing can now be believed which is seen in a newspaper” and that “the man who never looks into a newspaper is better informed than he who reads them.”
― Cindy L. Otis, True or False: A CIA Analyst's Guide to Spotting Fake News

“Whenever a foreign newspaper or reporter said something critical of the regime, the Nazis called them the Lügenpresse, or “lying press.”8 To be clear, the Nazis were not fighting against fake news—after all, fake news was an integral part of their strategy. Instead, the term was meant to discredit actual news so that Germans would not believe what was reported.”
